When is a Butterfly Not?...



Hello Dhaaarlings....


As I was telling you all the other day... I have been working on some very individual costumes for the cast members of a local school production of


 Alice in Wonderland...

The Kids wearing them designed them themselves and princess has managed to bring them to life!

So... Here's the Question... 


"When is a butterfly not?"....






When it's a "Bread 'n' Butterfly" of course!

Smeared with lashings of Vegemite...


or when it's a....





"Spotty Moth with green legs!"

Or it doesn't fly at all...

Because?





It's a Venus Fly-trap!

I just hope I don't have to create a "Rocking-Horse Fly" so that the Venus Fly trap has some prey!

    Hello Princess:
    We continue to marvel at what may, apparently, be done with a piece of material, a needle and thread. We are incapable of sewing on the proverbial button so stand back in awe of all of this. What fun it would be to see the production, for the costumes as we do not really 'do' children!

    I want to dress up in the Venus Fly-trap costume and run around scaring the neighbourhood children.

    I suspect the Venus Fly Trap is going to be the big hit of the show.

    I so want the Venus fly-trap costume.

    I'm even prepared to arm-wrestle MJ for it (and that's saying something, that bitch cheats)

    Dear Jane and Lance

    "We continue to marvel at what may, apparently, be done with a piece of material, a needle and thread. We are incapable of sewing on the proverbial button so stand back in awe of all of this. What fun it would be to see the production, for the costumes as we do not really 'do' children!"

    Thank you. Usually they record the show and make available copies for cast members and their families. I'm hoping I'll be able to procure a copy of same for myself...

    Dear MJ

    "I want to dress up in the Venus Fly-trap costume and run around scaring the neighbourhood children"

    It seems to be quite the hit!

    Dear Mr Von LX

    ""lashings of Vegemite"
    Brilliant!"

    I thought that you might appreciate that! There is nothing that quite compares to the unique and acquired taste of Vegemite!

    Dear Savannah

    "I.LOVE.THEM. well done you! by the by, sugar, did you get my email? the sketch is at the framers NOW! xoxoxoxoxo"

    I did get your Email and I'm excited! Can't wait to see it completed!

    Dear Jon, Wally, and Roses

    How does an all in smack down tag team with MJ sound? I'll leave you all to sort it out amongst yourselves shall I?

    Dear Mr peenee

    "I suspect the Venus Fly Trap is going to be the big hit of the show."

    I suspect that the smack down to see who gets to wear it out of MJ, Jon, Wally and Roses will be even more entertaining!

    Oh Hai Petra!

    Thank you Mr Pirate

    "Well done. The kids are going to have so much fun"

    By "kids" do you mean the awesome foursome mentioned above?
